Marianjoy Patient Steve Neely Shares His Rehabilitation Story

Steve's dream had been to become a paramedic in his hometown. On July 16, 2006, Steve attended a day of orientation for the paramedic training course he was about to start. Riding his Harley home that evening, Steve was caught off guard as something darted out in front on the road. An eyewitness would later say she thought it was a deer. A good driver and experienced motorcyclist, Steve was able to avoid hitting the deer but the road he was driving on was recently repaved with a six-inch drop off at the edge. When his motorcycle came to the edge of the road, the wheel turned and Steve lost control. This is the story of Steve's tragic injury and his rehabilitation at Marianjoy Rehabilitation Hospital in Wheaton, Illinois.
